    Damn... If it's really the Thirteen Colonies, I'll feel disappointed. I mean, I can see how it makes sense from a marketing standpoint, and the USA could make for an interesting campaign... But I don't intend to play it myself. It's just a personal prefference, really, but I would've much rather had another middle-eastern empire in the final slot, either the Mughals or Sefevids. That'd make for three non-European main factions in total, not that much since there are three times as many European factions. Europeans are the main point of this game, yeah, but it'd be nice to have more different flavoured campaigns than just the Ottomans (big surprise...) and the Marathas (which are somewhat a surprise, as I definately wasn't thinking about them the first time I heard of ETW; their campaign is probably going to be a blast, slugging it out against the Mughal behemoth... reminds me of Hayasdan/Pontos in EB ).

    I still have a small sparkle of hope that instead CA will go for something else as the final official factions. The Thirteen Colonies got their own campaign; shoving someone else onto the spotlight would be nice, be it Portugal, Mughals, or the odd Crimean Khanate. Hell, I'd play the Iroquois and be glad they're playable - now that'd be different flavor.
